Who still uses Facebook? I guess those who appreciate these policy changes.
X had an outward migration, maybe it's time for a Facebook/Instagram alternative.
Why does Meta's handbook list it as "Hate Speech Rules!"??
They are the rules to follow to expand hate speech.
“We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like ‘weird,’” the revised company guidelines read.
Abhorrent. Immoral. Evil.
These are the “insults” that I’d prefer to use to describe Facebook. This is the direction of the US. This is what people want. They want to be able to label people like me as “mentally ill”.
Fuck Facebook. I hope Zuckerberg gets his [not going to get banned for promoting violence, but what about the implication?]
“Transgenderism” immediately has me like
🚨🚩🚨🚩
Also, “non-serious usage of words like weird” means using it seriously against politicians could be rule violating, while calling someone mentally ill for being gay wouldn’t. 🙃
When you suggest a personal identity is some sort of ideology or political movement, you have shown all of your cards.
“Transgenderism” immediately has me like
Yup, sure does. The biggest social network is now a safe haven for hate speech.
Tying it to "weird" after that went viral during Harris/Walz's campaign seems telling.
It takes a little bit of inference, but I think it outs the writer of this policy as having the average conservative persecution complex, with the average conservative lack of awareness of proportionality.
Smacks of, "Oh, so you liberals can call us weird, but we can't call you 'mentally ill' and make concerted campaigns to drive you to suicide? We only do that because you attack us for wanting to focus policy on what genitals are in school childrens' pants, we're the victims here!"
So what? Let's do the time honoured tradition of ignoring things.
So can I say explicit things about CEOs?
Yes. When were you ever stopped from doing that? For instance, just recently it was in the headlines that some Finnish bloke told Elon Musk off in X, and he definitely noticed it because he answered "f u retard".
I have.
No. You'll be called a terrorist if you do that. They're a protected group don't you know?
Ah so accuse politicians and CEOs of being transgender. They’ll soon reverse it
Why do you think they would care about that?
Because they're manbabies and they care about that sort of thing.
Ok, in your fantasy perhaps, but is that really the case?
Considering the massive fit they threw about being called weird, yes.
Hell, the massive fit they throw when they're called cisgender
FB is going to die eventually. This expedites it. Its audience is aging, not getting younger. Add hate speech, and you’ll just drive people off it further.
I use FB for my birthday and connecting with family. I can find other platforms. Thanks.
It had hate speech already, which already didn't "go against community policies" (in spite of using well known codes to tell trans people to k*** themselves), this will just make it all the more blatant
(Just to be clear, I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm agreeing and adding context, just in case my intention wasn't obvious... Text and nuance ;) )
Gross, corporate social media platforms have been circling the nazi bar drain for a while, it's just becoming explicit now.
Ngl did not except a social media platform to do this
I mean, I expect it of ~~Twitter~~ and T~~ruth~~ump Social, but this feels really mask off for Facebook to do
Same
Motherfuckah, I’m ill, not sick.
